Message: [QUOTE="kanesha, post: 54584, member: 130134"] The longer the parry animation is and the more damage it does - the worse it is. And yeah a game with a good combat system doesn't need a dedicated parry button, parrying is attacking an opponent in the middle of their slow attack, with a quicker attack. Out of character action games Chaos Legion did this best IMO, if you hit an enemy at the right moment (and yeah, [B]hit[/B] not [I]press attack button[/I], you press to swing then the game simulates what you hit, like every proper hack and slash should, like you can parry/counter some random dude that was coming at you from behind with an over-swing) you get a satisfying sound effect and a freeze frame like in a fighting game, but it doesn't just stop everything and everyone to show you a little cute dance that gets repetitive real quick, and it doesn't do a metric ton of damage, just enough so that you can finish off that one guy with one combo instead of having to do the usual 2, that level of impact that doesn't break the flow of the combat, but is still very satisfying.
